I have been having a lot of trouble trying to make blender simply open GIMP so i could use it but no matter what i do and what online solutions that i find and try, it always gives me back the error:
“Image editor could not be launched, ensure that the path in User Preferences > File is valid, and Blender has rights to launch it”
What ive tried so far:
-
reinstalling gimp multiple diferent ways (flatpak)
-
sudo blender
-
changing the path GIMP is located to a more accesible one
-
used the Flatpak version of blender
-
chmod blender
-
chmod GIMP
Plus whatever solutions that i could find online and im forgetting, and i did try most if not all combinations of those together
i am, showing the path to the .desktop file for GIMP
i did, try to install GIMP directly from the site via its appimage, however, im not sure yet how to deal with appimages and generally just double click to run them as an executable instead of doing any other process with them;
and for the sake of trying i also did try showing the appimage to blender, also didnt work
i did, try “type gimp” , but it found nothing
i am using the steam version of blender for ease of update and tracking hours’ sake, but wouldnt mind using any other version to make this work
running latest version of bazzite
(im reasonably new to linux btw)
